tw//// panic attacks, talk of sexual harassment (summary at the end of the chapter! stay safe <3)

We were driving home. I don't think I'll ever go to that restaurant again. George and Sapnap stayed there to help deal with the police while Clay drove me and Jaxon home. 

"It's okay, you're okay. The creepy guy is miles away now, you're safe with us" Jaxon tried his best the reassure me, along with a arm around my shoulder

Tears were streaming down my face and my breathing was completely unstable

"Breathe, Willow, breathe" Clay said from the driver's seat

Thankfully, the place we ate at wasn't too far away so we made it home in a matter of minutes. I think Clay also going a good bit over the speed limit also helped with that.

We all made our way inside and go to sit on the couch. I put my head in my hands and continue crying. Jaxon sat to my right and Clay to my left as I cried.

"I know you are still processing this but, can you please tell us what happened? Are you calm enough to do that for me?" Clay asked

I think for a moment and then slowly nod my head

Taking a deep breath in and out, I begin explaining what happened

"O-okay. So I was going out of the b-bathroom a-and there was this creepy guy and he- he told me I had a n-nice ass and I tried to w-walk and he g-g-grabbed my- my-" I was trying my best to explain but thinking about it more made me want to start sobbing again

Clay put a hand on my forearm and Jaxon grabbed my hand tightly and rubbed small circles with his thumb

I breath again trying to continue "He grabbed my w-wrist and then he covered my mouth and brought m-me outside"

"And then what?" Clay urged, I could hear the worry but I still stared at the floor

"I kneed him in the dick as h-hard as I could"

"Atta girl" He says, lifting the mood slightly

Suddenly, Clay got a call

"It's George, I'll be right back" He says, getting up and answering the call

Me and Jaxon remained on the couch as I tried my best to stabilize my breathing

"Hey, yeah. Okay, that's good. They're physically okay but still processing it all. Sapnap, calm down. No, no nothing like that happened. She was able to get away before something like that happened" We hear the one side of the conversation

"Yeah. Mhm, okay. Alright, see you soon" 

He comes back over and sits down "George and Sap are on their way home" 

Soon enough, they did just so

The door busted open to reveal and angry Sapnap and worried George

"What the fuck happened" Sapnap says, quickly walking over to me

"Woah Sapnap, chill out a bit" Jaxon says, nothing that his anger made me more anxious

"Yeah, take it easy. We're all trying to process this" Clay says

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I just wanna know what happened. She's like a little sibling to me"

"It's okay, S-Sap. I just kind d-don't wanna think about it anymore" I respond, trying to get my mind off it as soon as possible

end tw/////

"I can tell you what happened, Sap. Let's just all chill out for rest of the night" Clay says

"Do you wanna go watch a movie or something?" Jaxon asks and I nod my head

We all share sad smiles and go our separate ways, me and Jax going up to my room to watch a movie

"Big Fish?" He asks as we climb into my bed, referring to the movie for us to watch 

I chuckle "Big Fish"

I like how he always knows what can cheer me up

Ranboo POV

Day: Thursday 

Days until Ranboo leaves: 4

With only 25 minutes left in the movie, I look over to see Willow asleep

"No one should have to go through that. Especially you" I say, knowing she can't hear me

"I promise I will try my best to always make sure you're safe, Willow" 

With that I get up from their bed and head downstairs to my own room

*Time skip brought to you by life by the sea*

It was 11:57am and I went to knock on Willow's door. I had a feeling she was doing something other than trying to distract herself from what happened yesterday

(an: it's actually that time irl for me bc i'm quirky like that)

I hear a mumbled "Come in" before entering 

They were laying on their side, staring at the wall with earphones in. I go over and sit next on the edge of her bed

"I think we both know that you sitting here listening to music and reflecting what happened yesterday isn't the best for your mental health"

"But it's the only thing I have motivation to do right now sooooo" 

"C'mon Willow, we need to do something distract you" I say, taking one of their earphones

"And what do you propose?" She sits up and looks at me

"The pier, maybe?" I suggest, hoping she agrees

They sigh "Sure"

I smile "Awesome! Do you wanna go by ourselves? We could take your brother's car" 

"Please not the kachow car, lets take George's" They say, getting out of bed

"Alright, I'll go ask George"

Willow POV

After listening to Life By The Sea for the entire car ride, we finally arrived at the pier 

"Geez, I haven't been here in ages" I say, looking around as we walk towards the booth to get our admission

"I haven't gone on a rollercoaster since our trip" 

"This'll probably be the last one I go on in a while. With school and all" 

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot you start school next week" 

"Egh, lets not talk about it" I say as we get to the booth and buy our tickets

"Well, what's first?" He asks

"Hmmmm, how about the 2000s roll? I'm pretty sure it plays music while you spin in a circle on a roller coaster" 

(an: google says it came out in 2004 but idk sorry lmao)

"I- thank goodness we didn't eat before this"

I chuckle and we get in line to get on the ride. We sit together and wait for the ride to begin

To our surprise, Everybody Wants To Rule The World comes on as the ride begins

"YOOOOO! I LOVE THIS SONG" I scream excitedly

"SAME THIS IS AMAZING" 

As we go around in circles we sing the words through smiles

The song comes to and end and we laugh while getting out of the cart

"First ride thoughts?" I ask as we walk out the exit line

"I've got a feeling it's gonna be a good day.."
